WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Biden administration will place hundreds of migrants caught at the U.S.-Mexico border on house arrest in the coming weeks as it seeks cheaper alternatives to immigration detention, according to a notice to lawmakers and a DHS official.
A 120-day pilot program will be launched in Houston and Baltimore, with 100-200 single adults enrolled in each location, according to the notice, which was sent by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The Biden administration plans to ask Congress for funding to place as many as 400,000 migrants this year in alternatives to detention, which could include the home curfew initiative as well as existing programs, the DHS official said. The total number of migrants in such programs would be higher since only heads of households are enrolled.
About 164,000 are currently in alternative-to-detention programs, according to ICE, roughly double the total on Sept. 30, 2020, before Biden took office.

If only the J6 political prisoners could be so lucky.
How bout we find a bunch of democRATS houses. Surely THEY would help those poor immigrants.
Yea, That’ll work. 🙄
In Seattle, the city is paying to put homeless drug users into new, high-end apartments with views of Puget Sound. “And that’s no joke!” as Biden might say.
sure...just like the bench warrants working out so well.
You should be thankful to live in such a prosperous locale!
Didn’t the English try something similar to that way back and the result was .... not in my house >bang<
Yeah, that’s gonna work.

[Shaking head at how deep the stupid runs.]
Even bigger demand in Kotzebue, AK for low skill snow shovelers - tell the to bring their own cold weather gear.
Yeah, the quartering of soldiers “in times of peace,” prohibited by the 3rd Amendment, and in times of war unless as provided for by law. But the left is too busy eroding the 1st and 2nd Amendments right now, so they aren’t paying much attention to the 3rd - yet.
Not sure how that’d work but if some social worker Karen showed up with some bedraggled homeless person you better bet that ....
It is quite possible we will someday have vaccine police or Green New Deal police at our doors, demanding access to our homes, even our bodies. What was once unthinkable in this country is now thinkable. I have been forced to wonder how I would react under those circumstances. The sense of entitlement and arrogance of the globalist elites knows no limits.
Great idea. Maybe they can try his with homeless people, too. /s
I believe there would be such a revolt it’d make our Revolution pale into insignificance. The minute such a bill is even proposed there’d be marches on either Congress or state capitols -
So what is “house arrest”? A fully paid hotel room with room service, daily maid service, and 200 channels on TV? Throw in a free cell phone, so they can be updated on their court dates, some free health care, and free immigration lawyers...
We will. Part of the build back bill was $ for a 300,000 member enviro police corps. That’s one green cop for every 1,000 citizens. The Green SS. That’s exactly what it would be. Armed, uniformed fanatical greenies. They’ll be by to confiscate any “banned” articles you might have. Door to door.
They’ll do their damnedest to push another bill through.
Whose house? Cheaper? Eminent Domain requires just compensation.
Can’t keep them from crossing the border, but you are sure you can keep them from walking out the front door of their free apartment.
We are lead by blithering idiots.
